  • A HUGE thank you to WestJet for allowing me to get such a great look at their brand new aircraft! This is WestJet's first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, C-GUDH, at WestJet's 787 Dreamliner show and shine event this morning. What a gorgeous aircraft, both inside and out! Can't wait to fly on it :)
    Thanks for watching!

      I also like them a bit but when I went up north to Yellowknife we got delayed 2.5 days and lost our suitcases. But we got to Yellowknife on Christmas Eve and we got our suitcases back. 5/10 experience

    Westjet is really upping their game. They should join Skyteam or Oneworld to increase their recognition. They aren’t a LCC anymore.

    • @JayJayAviation
      @JayJayAviation 5 років тому +1

      They are still a LCC

    • @Token_Nerd
      @Token_Nerd 5 років тому +5

      JayJay Planes&Things at this point, based on their cabin interior, prices, and business model they really aren’t. They’re now trying to compete with air canada at about the same prices for the same product.

    • @armslides2105
      @armslides2105 5 років тому +2

      Not a LCC, in aviation they would considered a 'Value Carrier'. In terms of price they are on par with AC on most routes only plus or minus a few dollars. They're new business class product is priced similarly to most airlines crossing the Atlantic and the premium product on the 787, much like AC offering, is over priced. Nobody is going to pay $3k for premium economy when for a few hundred more they can be in business. Both AC and WS have pitched the price of their premium economy really badly, so much so that you can often find a business ticket cheaper than a premium economy ticket on the same flight. This conundrum originally seemed just to be the preserve of AC but now with the 787 WS have copied this aspect of their business. I like WS but I always feel they are trying to match AC but that's the wrong approach because AC are terrible to begin with.

    • @Henri.Virallinen
      @Henri.Virallinen 5 років тому

      Well they are effectively a Skyteam carrier now anyway, even if not officially

If the price is competitively less than flying nonstop to Europe from Seattle, I’d consider connecting in Calgary to fly with WestJet’s 787’s! These beautiful birds were built just 7 miles from my house near Paine Field! You could add a flight from PAE - YYC... that would be a dream connection to Eastern Canada and Europe! 🇺🇸 😊 🇨🇦
